  2. Obesity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obesity

    A BMI of ≥ 35 kg/m 2 and experiencing obesity-related health conditions or ≥ 40 or 45 kg/m 2 is morbid obesity. A BMI of ≥ 45 or 50 kg/m 2 is super obesity . As Asian populations develop negative health consequences at a lower BMI than Caucasians , some nations have redefined obesity; Japan has defined obesity as any BMI greater than 25 ...

  3. Energy efficiency in transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_efficiency_in_transport

    A 68 kg (150 lb) person walking at 4 km/h (2.5 mph) requires approximately 210 kilocalories (880 kJ) of food energy per hour, which is equivalent to 4.55 km/MJ. [ 15 ] 1 US gal (3.8 L) of petrol contains about 114,000 British thermal units (120 MJ) [ 52 ] of energy, so this is approximately equivalent to 360 miles per US gallon (0.65 L/100 km).

    Molecular weights of the species in the representative octane combustion are 114, 32, 44, and 18 for C 8 H 18, O 2, CO 2, and H 2 O, respectively; therefore one kilogram (2.2 lb) of fuel reacts with 3.51 kilograms (7.7 lb) of oxygen to produce 3.09 kilograms (6.8 lb) of carbon dioxide and 1.42 kilograms (3.1 lb) of water.

  5. High-fructose corn syrup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-fructose_corn_syrup

    Consumption of HFCS in the U.S. has declined since it peaked at 37.5 lb (17.0 kg) per person in 1999. The average American consumed approximately 22.1 lb (10.0 kg) of HFCS in 2018, [42] versus 40.3 lb (18.3 kg) of refined cane and beet sugar. [43] [44] This decrease in domestic consumption of HFCS resulted in a push in exporting of the product ...

  6. Cat food - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_food

    Studies have shown that cats fed lower energy diets had a significantly reduced incidence of obesity, as the typical indoor pet cat does not need more energy than their resting energy requirement. For an average cat weighing 10–11 pounds (about 5 kg), it would have a resting energy requirement of 180–200 kcal/day. [57]

  7. Formula One - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Formula_One

    Driving in Formula One is highly demanding physically, with drivers typically burning around 1,000 calories per hour and losing 2–4 kg (4–9 lb) of weight per race. [ 138 ] [ 139 ] A key reason for the physical demands is the extreme g-forces generated by driving at high speeds, with modern Formula One cars capable of generating forces of up ...

  8. Ethanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethanol

    Ethanol-water mixtures have less volume than the sum of their individual components at the given fractions. Mixing equal volumes of ethanol and water results in only 1.92 volumes of mixture. [75] [80] Mixing ethanol and water is exothermic, with up to 777 J/mol [81] being released at 298 K. Hydrogen bonding in solid ethanol at −186 °C
